Values & History
Skoah began in 2001 in Vancouver's Yaletown district as a full-service spa with a fresh attitude and atmosphere: the decor was minimal and gender-neutral, and the experience approachable and unintimidating. Skoah's first tag line was 'no whale music, no bubbling cherubs, no pretentious attitude.' Skoah quickly built a reputation as the best place to get a facial. Its original estheticians loved the opportunity to connect and build long term relationships with facial guests. After experiencing single service nail bars in Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, and London, Skoah's founders realized there was an opportunity to create a single service 'facials only' concept.
In 2003, the 'facials only' facial shop was born. that same year Skoah hired a chemist and Skoah launched its skin care product line with 5 proprietary products.
